The Broadway League also released end-of-season statistics for the 2025-2026 season, which began on May 26, 2025, and ended on May 24, 2026. During the 2025-2026 season, Broadway shows brought in a total of $1.91 billion, with total attendance of 14.6 million. This represents an overall increase of one percent compared to last season and a 0.6 percent decrease in attendance (although the 2024-2025 season was 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks this season). These numbers remain troubling given the rising costs of producing Broadway shows and the industry’s continued post-pandemic track record.

“As we release these season numbers, one thing is clear: audiences still have a deep passion for live theater. Even in a challenging economic environment, Broadway has remained remarkably on par with last season, reflecting the resilience of this industry and audiences’ connection to these shows,” said Broadway League President Jason Lax.
